History[]

The GAT-12h "Skipray" was the most popular variant of the GAT Blastboat series produced by Sienar Fleet System in service to the Galactic Empire.^[1]

The first GAT-12h Skipray Blastboats were released prior to the Battle of Yavin.^[3] Due to costs the Imperial Navy didn't purchase all the vessels produced and Sienar eventually sold the blastboat to the private market, that way the Skipray was adquired by mercenaries and paramilitary groups.^[4]
